New York Times Bestseller (Expeditions) * THE ”MASTERFUL CHRONICLE”* OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE LEGENDARY LOST CIVILIZATION OF THE MAYA--AN ”ADVENTURE TALE THAT MAKES INDIANA JONES LOOK TAME”* In 1839, rumors of extraordinary yet baffling stone ruins buried within the unmapped jungles of Central America reached two of the world`s most intrepid travelers. Seized by the reports, American diplomat John Lloyd Stephens & British artist Frederick Catherwood-both already celebrated for their adventures in Egypt, the Holy L&, Greece, & Rome-sailed together out of New York Harbor on an expedition into the forbidding rainforests of present-day Honduras, Guatemala, & Mexico. What they found would upend the West`s understanding of human history. In the tradition of Lost City of Z & In the Kingdom of Ice, former San Francisco Chronicle journalist & Pulitzer Prize finalist William Carlsen reveals the remarkable story of the discovery of the ancient Maya. Enduring disease, war, & the torments of nature & terrain, Stephens & Catherwood meticulously uncovered & documented the remains of an astonishing civilization that had flourished in the Americas at the same time as classic Greece & Rome-and had been its rival in art, architecture, & power. Their masterful book about the experience, written by Stephens & illustrated by Catherwood, became a sensation, hailed by Edgar Allan Poe as ”perhaps the most interesting book of travel ever published” & recognized today as the birth of American archaeology. Most important, Stephens & Catherwood were the first to grasp the significance of the Maya remains, understanding that their antiquity & sophistication overturned the West`s assumptions about the development of civilization. By the time of the flowering of classical Greece (400 b.c.), the Maya were already constructing pyramids & temples around central plazas. Within a few hundred years the structures took on a monumental scale that required millions of man-hours of labor, & technical & organizational expertise. Over the next millennium, dozens of city-states evolved, each governed by powerful lords, some with populations larger than any city in Europe at the time, & connected by road-like causeways of crushed stone. The Maya developed a cohesive, unified cosmology, an array of common gods, a creation story, & a shared artistic & architectural vision. They created stucco & stone monuments & bas reliefs, sculpting figures & hieroglyphs with refined artistic skill. At their peak, an estimated ten million people occupied the Maya`s heartland on the Yucatan Peninsula, a region where only half a million now live. & yet by the time the Spanish reached the ” New World, ” the Maya had all but disappeared; they would remain a mystery for the next three hundred years. Today, the tables are turned: the Maya are justly famous, if sometimes misunderstood, while Stephens & Catherwood have been nearly forgotten. Based on Carlsen`s rigorous research & his own 1, 500-mile journey throughout the Yucatan & Central America, Jungle of Stone is equally a thrilling adventure narrative & a revelatory work of history that corrects our understanding of Stephens, Catherwood, & the Maya themselves.* Missourian* Tampa Bay Times ...
